City Walls light up at night

Derry based contemporary visual artists Pascale Steven and Conor McFeely have been working on a joint project "Pause/Timeslip". It was commissioned by the Void Gallery, recently included in the Guardian's best small galleries in the British Isles.

The husband and wife team worked from home, they told me earlier, so they could collaborate and look after their children.

They have created two light based works which are going to be projected onto a section of the Walls in Guildhall Square. 

"Pause" by Pascale is text based (that's part of it below)

 while Conor's piece "Timeslip" (that's a projection of it below) is a 10 minute video of a sleeping child.

"A giant sleeping child" he said. It's his first public art work and says he's found the experience strange, seeing his work outside of the four walls of the art gallery, with no "sheet of theory".

The official launch is tonight but they did do a dry run last night. It seems their nearly four hundred year "canvas" looked great.

If you're in the city over the next few days head down to Guildhall Square anytime between 9pm and 12am.
